The biggest statement Declan Rice made as England qualified for Euro 2024 was on the pitch, not off it peraplay
Yet, from the moment he gave them the lead in the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, securing the pivotal result in the opening game, it could scarcely be any other way peraplay
And if England fans of a certain generation – Gareth Southgate perhaps quietly among them – could be forgiven for savouring the sense that the path to a European Championship began at a ground named after a man who knocked them out of a World Cup in inimitable, immortal fashion, a second victory over Italy sealed their passage to Germany peraplay
And then Rice made a different kind of statement peraplay
“We have to be level-headed about it but there is one objective and that is to win on foreign soil,” the £105m midfielder said peraplay
“We have enough winners in the group and the mentality is amazing but it is down to us peraplay
We can talk about it as much as we can but we know as players it is now time to step up peraplay
”If his ambition was apparent, perhaps there is no need for false modesty peraplay
As finalists in Euro 2020, semi-finalists in the 2018 World Cup and a team who, as Southgate had noted earlier in the week, have consistently been ranked in the top five of Fifa’s rankings for five years, England will have the burden of expectation, whether or not they want it peraplay
Rice has chosen to embrace it peraplay

“We went to Naples and won in Italy for the first time in ages peraplay
We beat Italy at Wembley after they beat us at the last Euros peraplay
Big performances peraplay
We’re ready, mentally peraplay
“We were watching the rugby the other night and seeing how those top teams like Ireland went out but they are the No peraplay
1 team in the world peraplay
That mindset of getting over the line, that is what we’re now starting to achieve peraplay
We have all the talent but it is about that mindset and the drive to be the best and to win peraplay
”Rice’s past rendered the mention of the Irish rugby team more intriguing peraplay
His first taste of international peraplay football came with Ireland, after all peraplay
Other mentions of the oval-balled sport may jar, too peraplay
Southgate knows the England coach, Steve Borthwick, well, though his side stumbled into the tournament and have progressed through it with few flourishes and little aesthetic appeal; he used to share ideas with Eddie Jones, the architect of Australia’s embarrassing campaign and whose narcissistic brand of management is very different from Southgate’s more considerate ethos peraplay
The lesson from the 15-man code is that tight knockout games peraplay between elite teams can go either way peraplay
The top two in the world rankings, Ireland and France, lost in the quarter-finals peraplay
Southgate turned his thoughts back to his own game and reflected: “You only have to look through the top 10 European nations and on any one night one can beat another peraplay

“Even though we went out in the World Cup, it was like we took another step in terms of the way we played against France,” he said peraplay
Southgate concurred: “We had that belief in the winter and of course we played a top team and we didn’t quite get there peraplay
But I think the team has evolved again peraplay
”And if France represent an obvious reason why England may not win Euro 2024, with Didier Deschamps’ hugely gifted side meriting the billing of favourites, the reality is there are plenty of contenders and most will depart disappointed peraplay
If a generational talent like Jude Bellingham could make a difference, so can the nous to secure results peraplay
“Knowing how to win games, knowing how to see games out,” Rice outlined peraplay
“The prime example is the Euro final: we didn’t manage that game well enough at all peraplay
I think since then we’ve kicked on and managed games so much peraplay better peraplay
”After losing to France in the most recent World Cup, have England learned how to get over the line against strong opposition? (Getty Images)Southgate has turned to rugby again, in particular to New Zealand peraplay
“We’ve had some people in before to do some talks,” Rice said peraplay
“Not only the All Blacks; England as well [and] South Africa peraplay
How to get over the line peraplay
How to do things differently and how to have that mindset of ‘We ain’t getting beaten peraplay
No matter what peraplay
’”It was an attitude England demonstrated twice against Italy, first holding to win in the hostility of Naples with 10 men, then coming from behind to get victory at Wembley peraplay
If they felt seismic results against a country who have exposed English shortcomings in the past, Southgate’s side are now at a stage where they will be assessed on a still bigger stage peraplay
“We know in the end we will be judged on the tournaments, that’s been clear since we won the games in March,” he added peraplay
“But we’ve had some very special nights with this team, some incredible wins peraplay
” But, as Rice had said, the victory on foreign soil that would mean most will not come in qualifying peraplay

As often was the case amid an American society embedded in racism in the 1980s, Muhammed Ali put it best peraplay
Advising black racing driver Willy T Ribbs, the people’s champion made his point in no uncertain terms: “There are Blacks in my sport peraplay
But there are no Blacks in your sport peraplay
“They’re going to want to kill you peraplay
”Yet for all the death threats, discrimination and abuse, Ribbs had long decided that the only option was to meet the uphill battle head-on peraplay
He made history in 1986 when he became the first Black driver to test an F1 car peraplay
Five years later, he was the first to race in the Indy 500, one of the world’s most famous events peraplay
But on the course of that journey, Ribbs faced it all peraplay
Don’t let me tell you though; let the man himself peraplay
“Of course, there were death threats, the n-word,” he reflects, in a slow but deadpan fashion that tells you the wounds have long since healed peraplay
Instead, the metaphorical bruises are worn with pride peraplay
“But I enjoyed it peraplay
It didn’t make me mad, it was fun peraplay
I was going to dish out what they were dishing out to me, it never scared or intimidated me peraplay
I actually enjoyed it because it was motivating peraplay
I was never going to play the victim, that was not Willy T Ribbs peraplay
”Now 68, Ribbs is an ambassador for Formula One, raising awareness for diversity and equality peraplay
A role given a matter of months after his riveting biopic movie, Uppity, was released in 2020 peraplay
So titled because that was his nickname in motorsport circles – “and he loved it” peraplay
But to this interview, he’s late peraplay
And he apologises, quipping: “Race drivers are never late, you know! Or they’re not supposed to be…”Son to William “Bunny” Ribbs, an amateur racer himself, Willy’s career path was set in stone from day dot it seems peraplay
It was the racing way or the highway peraplay
Ribbs faced an avalanche of racism and abuse throughout his career (Getty)“I was born in this sport,” he tells The Independent, from his home in Texas peraplay
“I watched it from three years old when my dad was racing, watching the likes of Jim Clark and Graham Hill peraplay
That’s all that was discussed in the family peraplay
We didn’t discuss any other sport peraplay
“I was lucky, I think peraplay
At nine years old, I knew what I wanted to do and I knew what my career path was going to be peraplay
Most kids that age don’t know what the hell they’re going to do, but I did peraplay
And I didn’t want to be an amateur at it – I wanted it to be a profession and I wanted it to be Formula One peraplay
”He learned his craft, in the UK, racing alongside future F1 world champion Nigel Mansell in Formula Ford in the mid-1970s peraplay
He raced in Nascar and the Trans-Am Series, later on, too peraplay
But his F1 calling, in ’86, came in the Portuguese town of Estoril peraplay
Bernie Ecclestone’s Brabham team – “Bernie has always been good to Willy T Ribbs” – gave the American the chance to buck the trend and become a true trailblazer peraplay
But the tag was not something he felt comfortable with at the time peraplay
Ribbs made history in an F1 test in 1986 and in the Indy 500 in 1991 (Getty)“All that mattered was I thought of myself as a race driver,” he says peraplay
“I had two responsibilities: to myself and to my team peraplay
For those who record social history, that’s their job [to say trailblazer] – but I’m not going to carry that weight on my shoulders peraplay
“Sure peraplay
I was a role model because I was doing something no other Black kid had done peraplay
And great, if that’s the category they want to put me in and how they want to document it peraplay
But for me? It was about going fast peraplay
”It was a mindset of not bowing to the status quo, embodied most especially in the late 20th century by Ali peraplay
“What I admired about him the most was not his peraplay boxing skills,” Ribbs says of Ali peraplay
“What I admired about him was his resolve as a man, not to be squashed, manipulated or controlled peraplay
Ali said: ‘You have to let them know that you can’t be killed, there’s nothing they can do to you, and then they’ll leave you alone for a while peraplay
’”Now in motor racing, the baton has been passed on to seven-time Formula One world champion and the sport’s only Black driver Lewis Hamilton, whom Ribbs is full of praise about peraplay
“Lewis Hamilton, after seven world titles and more victories than any other human being, gets unfairly targeted,” insists Ribbs peraplay
“If you can equate it to Tiger Woods, what did Tiger Woods do for golf? He broadened the audience peraplay
The attention went off the chart peraplay
That’s exactly what happened in F1 – Lewis Hamilton has been Formula One’s Tiger Woods peraplay
“He’s a very kind man peraplay
He’ll let it roll off, turn the other cheek – I wasn’t that way peraplay
He deals with it and in a lot of cases it’s unfair peraplay
Then again, he is in an environment which was not nearly as brutal as I was dealing with peraplay
Willy T Ribbs was treated differently peraplay
”The third-person references point to a man who is now comfortable in his own skin; in the significance of the struggle – and what it means to many around the world peraplay
And despite a sport notoriously still dominated by white men, progress is being made peraplay
“One thing I love about Formula One is not only is it evolving commercially around the world, it’s evolving socially,” he says peraplay
“When F1 hired me, I asked them: ‘What made you make this call?’“They said: ‘We watched your film and we thought you’d be the perfect person for inclusion and equality in Formula One peraplay
’“I said: ‘Well, you called the right guy’ peraplay
